Santa Barbara sits on a palm-lined coast, with Stearns Wharf and the harbor below the Santa Ynez Mountains. Spanish Colonial buildings such as the County Courthouse, El Presidio and Casa de la Guerra give its historic streets a distinct character. The Cabrillo Bike Path and the parks along the shore make it easy to walk, run or cycle.
Choose from 7 self-guided audio tours to walk, run, cycle and explore Santa Barbara, from 2.3 to 10.4 km, taking in La Arcada Court, Paseo Nuevo Pedestrian Mall, Chase Palm Park, Cabrillo Bike Path and Alameda Park (Kids' World Playground).
Each tour is told in your own language, any of 90, with narration and music that play from your phone as you reach each place: no group to keep up with and no fixed start time.

New York's downtown holds some of its oldest streets, including the cobblestones of Stone Street and the historic square at Hanover Square. Trinity Church and St. Paul's Chapel mark the older layers of the city, while Bowery Mural Wall and Freeman Alley show its street art. Central Park's Bethesda Terrace and Sheep Meadow sit in the green core, and Hudson River Greenway suits a bike ride along the western edge.
San Francisco's waterfront views take in the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz and the city skyline from Crissy Field and the Presidio. Chinatown's Ross Alley and Waverly Place, the Mission's murals and North Beach's old bars add older and livelier layers. Flat, car-free promenades make the bay a good place for a walk, run or ride.
Chicago's character shows in its public art, lakefront views and skyline reflections. Its best-known places include Cloud Gate, Crown Fountain, Millennium Park and the Art Institute of Chicago. The Lakefront Trail and the Chicago Riverwalk offer car-free paths for walking, running or cycling past the city's architecture.
New Orleans' French Quarter is known for Jackson Square, St. Louis Cathedral and the lively French Market, all set near the Mississippi. Narrow alleys such as Pirate's Alley and Exchange Place lead to hidden courtyards, and Royal Street's galleries and Burgundy Street's murals reward slow wandering. The riverfront promenade is also a good route for a run or a bike ride past passing steamboats.
Charleston's character comes from its harbor, historic streets and pastel Georgian houses. Its best-known places include Joe Riley Waterfront Park, Rainbow Row, White Point Garden and St. Michael's Church. The car-free promenade and quiet lanes such as Philadelphia Alley make walking, running and cycling all pleasant here.
San Antonio's Riverwalk winds past bridges, bars and views of the Tower of the Americas, with the Alamo and San Fernando Cathedral close to the old Main Plaza. Its history reaches back to La Villita and the Spanish Governor's Palace. Car-free paths along the river and through Hemisfair Park and Brackenridge Park suit a slow walk, a run or a bike ride.
